particulars of several cases. One of the victims

went to teach in a small village in the State of
Tobasco. She was poisoned shortly after open
ing her school. and though her life was saved
her reason Is thoughr to have been destroyed.
Another was the murder of thrse Protest
ants in the State of Guerrero by mob, and
third case was the recent murder OF the editor
OF Liberal newspaper in the State of Vera
Cruz. who had attacked tho church roughly and
had been denounced from the pulpit by his cler-
ical an tagonsts. All the victims were Mexican
citizens, and the Monitor calls for justice and
protection for people of all creeds against the
fanatics of the interior. There is much agita-
tion over these disclosures, which is likely
cause punishment to swiftly visit the Offenders.
The government seeks to afford ample pro-
lection to all denominations. and in the larger
cities and towns succeeds in doing so, but in the
remote sections of the interior the fanatics

pioys in one of the electric-light establishmen
here. Some months ago Miss Harmon came to
Cleveland. and, with party of friends, paid
visit to the establishment in which her afiauced
worked. While passing through the shop Miss
Harmon received severe shock of electricity,
and fell to the floor. In few minutes she
covered sufficiently to be removed from the
place, and was taken to her home. Medical aid
was summoned. For four days the girl lay in
bed in a paralyzed condition. Then she re-
gained the use OF her limbs. but imm mediately
began to lose flesh The hair on the left sids of
her head turned gray and began falling out.
After four weeks Miss Harmon was able to be
about and attend to most of her household
duties. but in that time she had been trans
formed from healthy girl into feeble and
prematurely aged woman Her form, which
had been plump and rounded, IS thin and bent
and the skin her face and body is dry and
wrinkled. Her voice is harsh and cracked, and
no would imagine that she is less than sixty
years OF age. The physicians claim that the
electric current communicated directly with the
principal of the spine and left side of the
head, and that the shock almost completely de-
stroyed their vitality
